VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.10.1] [DrPinkCake]

[E.l.l.0]

I doubt it anyways. The worse I think we'll see is Depression, suicidal thoughts and perhaps Overdoses.

I hope so. If it's an OD, I hope it only happens to a hardcore user, voluntarily, and not being forced upon a new pledge or something. What I fear is a collateral from a gunfight over a deal gone wrong, or something.

 

[Sleeping In Pieces]

Ehhh... for a while there I thought Josy was Chad's side bitch.

 

[sloppy gonzo]

And what's the deal with Burke and Isabella!?

The running theory is Bella became the 'ice queen' partly due to Burke making a move on her and failing or they had a one night stand and Bella regretted it ever since. I think tho it's more likely Bella hasn't be happy in her marriage for a while. Maybe Jill might give us a clue in the date.

Essentially Bella is pissed the MC is the first man she's had feelings for since her husband when she was happy. That's why she's so conflicted and prefers Jill to have him.

Also the biggest theory about Burke he is one of the masterminds behind the DIK's rise in the college and suggested the HOTS restaurant as well as part payment for his services. So he could be a drug supplier or has links to one. It's plausible he's hiding a lot of secrets from Jade...

We will be moving to Bella's in the next update, so maybe we'll get more answers about all the mysteries surrounding la Belladonna.

Jill might give us a clue in the date.

She might but with the way Jill is and how close she is with Bella I'd be surprised if she told us much about Bella and her personal life.

If he was the mastermind he would be taking one hell of a risk by fucking students either that student could use that against him or they could, in turn, get caught out by someone else now would a mastermind risk all of that by fucking his students.

No, it hasn't. And it won't be until the game is completed. If we think that the developer will be going down the path of Acting Lessons, then that would be one possibility. However, I believe that the warning given by Jill at the very beginning of the game is a red herring, a thumb in the eye to those of us who found it difficult (if not impossible) to finish Acting Lessons, rather than a real warning of dire events to come. There will be drama, of course, and heartache. But deaths? I seriously doubt it. I strongly believe that DrPinkCake has gotten that out of his system.

Again, though, I will only be proven right or wrong by the game being completed.

You know better than that, my friend.
There is persistent Maya's warning at the start of the game. So, I really doubt it's a red herring.

Today's episode: Bella

It depends on your playthrough. If you're living with someone else, little or nothing might be said on Jill's side. But I guess either Bella will mention the MC is staying with her, or the MC will mention/confirm that himself, which will open more dialogue options. So that gives the opportunity for the MC to ask Jill how well she knows Bella if she feels uncomfortable or looks confused when she finds out the MC is shacking up with Bella.

Also be aware that Jill is getting involved more and more in the MC's business...

If he was the mastermind he would be taking one hell of a risk by fucking students either that student could use that against him or they could, in turn, get caught out by someone else now would a mastermind risk all of that by fucking his students.

Considering how he risked Jade's wrath just telling her he messed around anyway with some students and tried to get permission with Bella, it wouldn't surprise me. He clearly doesn't give two fucks and feels unfulfilled so clearly he presumes he can get away with his bad behavior.

There was a lot of clues considering Maya+Josy,there was also couple of lines that didn`t fit(about Josy being in a long distance relationship and college being relativly close and Maya living near the college),hence many of us dropped that idea but it turned out those lines were not that important

Frankly the Maya + Josy back story is full of holes. Nevermind the long distance relationship, how did they even meet, or associate closely enough to start one, which is implied to have been at least a conventional one(i.e. not long distance) for a time.
Josy has lived within biking distance of the MC for years. Long enough that she's gotten to hate Tommy, who would have been mostly away at B&R for at least 3 years by story start. That they didn't know each other at least peripherally until going to the same summer job breaks my SOD. Their home town is small enough that the nearest 'small college' and one with a slim selection of courses at that is a train ride away. They should have gone to the same high school. And the town seems remote enough that everybody would know of everybody else his/her age even if they don't ever interact. Including social pariahs. If only for the fact that even a relatively small population would have a pariah.
Which brings us to the actual relationship itself next. How did they even meet? Maya is implied to have gotten flak from her dad because of her relationship with a girl, presumably Josy. Except that just runs into Josy having lived in the same town as the MC for the past several years and Maya herself having mostly lived with her family several hours away.

So, about "dark events":

We thought Troy could be either Chad's BF or a possible lone gunman (cause of his personality) - I doubt DPC will go that dark but who knows?

More probable thing? Derek doing something dangerous and end up paralyzed, overdose - but since that couldn't be connected with main characters, that wouldn't be so controversial.

Possible suicide attempt? Bella's backshadowing is close to that.

Also, I think there are much more to Maya's and Derek's family than we know so far.

We still don't know almost anything about Jill - it could be really nasty after 0.4 or 0.5.

So - just pick your poison.

Exactly. 0.3 is a disaster but people like it cause they don't really read into the story. I'll probably drop this game after 0.4 if some of the plot holes won't be fixed.

hey guys, just downloaded and started playing this, how often is this game updated?

Every 3-4 months.

 

[Ripe]

Looking at that made me wonder one thing: why is there picture of Tybalt on their dresser? Is Tybalt their son?

 

[MRG101]

Most likely

If he is, that's another plot hole. Also, Jade is most definitely isn't his mother. Mother wouldn't throw a photo of his son.

More likely - nephew.

 

[vir_cotto]

Ah, yes - another theory that isn't disputed or confirmed yet.

Sage is yandere and she'll do something terrible to Chad's GF/BF or even to him.

Why would it be a plot hole?

 

[vir_cotto]

Why would it be a plot hole?

Early on when Maya is showing campus to MC, she'll show him Tybalt and she'll tell that he's a president of ANO and that his parents are very rich and giving big donations to college every year.

Now, if Burke and Jade are his parents: why would they donate to college where they work? How could they be so rich? Why Maya wouldn't say his parents are professors - moreover, she is attending Jade's classes.

Remember, Maya is local. She would know all that.

How did Maya and Josy met is not a plot hole,it`s an information we don`t have yet,they could have met online,on a summer camp,on a trip ... many possibilities.
However Josy and Mc meeting for the first time in the store is a bit of a problem,though the story does not give us detailed information about how big this town is,how many high schools there are how many people live there and so on.When our(no matter how reasonable) assumptions are not reflected in the story - it`s not a plot hole,it`s just our assumptions not being met or author making different ones.

Those aren`t the things I really have a big problem with,it`s a fictional world that rules itself with the rules that the author made,that`s OK,what isn`t OK is when those established rules would be broken or bent to have the outcome desired without logical progress.When characters change without having an arc that would explain those changes or finally when the audience is given contradictory informations.
